answers 0:Right now i am a sophomore in high school and i'll be starting JROTC next year. So theres 2 years of jrotc entering college.In college i plan on doing rotc all 4 years.All i'm wondering is which rank will i be after college and everything. I'm looking at the pay charts and i can't figure out if i'm going to start as a plain O1, or something higher sense i'll have 6 years total of training....Show moreanswers 1:Hello Shadow,When any new officer is commissioned he/she begins at the Officer's pay grade of O-1 under 2 years service.Everybody starts out as a Second Lieutenant (except doctors, lawyers, dentists, clergy who are direct commissioned and compensated for their many years of college training).By the 3 year point you "should" be promoted to Captain (O-3). Making Major (O-4) comes at sometime during t! he 2nd 4 year period - assuming you make the Major's board promotion selection at the first promotion opportunity. After that rising in rank depends on many more factors.Breadth of Experience. Level of Assignments.Officer Advanced Professional Military Education.Ability to assume higher responsibility.Excellent management and leadership skills.Service in many overseas countries and higher headquarters assignments.Luck.Your first task to becoming an AF officer is not to worry about the pay chart. By the time you get finished with college the pay chart will be modified 7 or 8 times before you are O-1.Right now you must make sure that you can maintain a GPA of 3.8 - 4.0ACT score of 27 - 32SAT combined score of 1450 - 1500Physically fitYou must ONLY get accepted to a college/university that offers AF ROTC.You must also get accepted into AF ROTC.You have 3 years to go to even be ready to attend college. Jr. ROTC IS worth something. It is worth the EXPERIENCE that other coll! ege students do not have because they didn't take Jr. ROTC. Y! ou will know more going into college ROTC than the new-bees. Don't let anybody put down Jr. ROTC. If if all you learned was to march and wear the uniform properly that is something. And, I "know" you will learn more about the AF by being in Jr. ROTC.If you can locate a Civil Air Patrol unit near where you are then join that too. You will most likely get a flight sometime. I've flown in a refueling tanker 3 times. Really cool watching the jets being refueled from the tanker BOOM.Best wishes,Larry SmithSenior Master Sergeant, USAF (Ret.)First Sergeant...answers 2:if you complete rotc in college you will be commissioned as an O1, second lieutenant which is the gold bar, or ensign if you join the navy or coast guard. jrotc only counts for enlisted only, like E-1 or private, stuff like that.answers 3:"Don't let anybody put down Jr. ROTC. If if all you learned was to march and wear the uniform properly that is something. And, I "know" you will learn more about the AF by bein! g in Jr. ROTC."SMsgt Smith, Sir, with all due respect. I have not met a single Airman who got stripes for JROTC that wasn't a dirtbag, failing out of techschool or just couldn't march. I really wish I could meet one that was a role model Airman, just one to validate the thought process behind paying them more money.To the original poster, you will start out as an 0-1 or an E-3 if you go enlisted. That being said, please make sure you don't loose sight of the importance of your training and assuming that the things they teach you in JROTC are correct for AETC or in most of the Air Force....answers 4:O-a million that's a 2d Lieutenant till you're getting in with some more desirable diploma or below a definite application. Nurses for occasion from time to time flow in as 1st Lieutenants or O-2 and physicians flow in as Captains or O-3. I even have seen a number of your engineering tiers flow in as O-2 yet given the harder economic situations and the shown fact that the Air rig! idity could be picky I doubt that's the case right this moment.answers ! 5:you would go in as an O-1, most likely, and the above poster is wrong if your in JROTC when you enlist you'll get to be E3answers 6:jrotc counts for "NOTHING".
